House brands rock
They do the job
They meet the need
if not the want
Knockoffs rock
You can’t tell what’s what
unless you’ve seen
real more than once
Counterfeits rock
Maybe they’re cheap but
a cheap watch tells expensive time
at least for a little while
With that Bentley grille
on your Chrysler
you oughta drive it
like you stole it
Oughta steal something
The way you have the sizzle
without having the steak
oughta be a crime
but it’s not
It’s all for the best
in this best of all
probative worlds

That was the plan. And thanks.
